Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...
While testing a new way to sequence genes, researchers stumbled upon a very rare divergence in the genetic code, which translates genetic sequences into proteins. The discovery was made in an organism ...
This study is led by Dr. Ying Yan (Institute of Evolution & Marine Biodiversity, Ocean University of China). Ciliated protists represent one of the most primitive lineages of eukaryotes, with nuclear ...
